GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Rev. Jesse Jackson talked to the media Monday in Greenville.

"There is a mood shift in the country and we must seize upon the positiveness of that mood shift," Jackson said.

Jackson talked about the pain Charleston, South Carolina and the rest of the country have felt since the shooting of nine people at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.

Jackson, who often talks to the press about hot topic issues visits his mother in Greenville, spoke highly of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Tim Scott.

"South Carolina can lead the whole South into a new America," Jackson said.

"I am impressed by the position Lindsey Graham took, and he has been very forthright, and that of Sen. Scott and that of (Mitt) Romney. There is a national move to have one nation."

Betty Doyley of Greenville, who attended Monday's press conference, said there is a reason why Jackson's tone was different.

"I see the whole state and really the world may be different now because we are in shock and through shock and grief, you have a calmer spirit," said Doyle.

Jackson said he believes that South Carolina lawmakers will vote to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

Both the House and Senate could take up the issue and vote on removing the flag when they meet in Columbia the week of July 6.
